The Department of Biology and the Rutgers School of Business–Camden now offer the opportunity to earn a dual degree Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Master of Business Administration.
The program requires undergraduates to plan effectively, accelerate completion of their undergraduate coursework and complete graduate level coursework in the senior undergraduate year; this requires early and thorough planning with students’ major advisor. Dual Degree program candidates are expected to excel in their undergraduate studies and score well on the GMAT or GRE.

NOTE: All Dual Degree program students program MUST have their bachelor degree conferred prior to their first semester in the MBA program.
